REVIEW FROM THE SYRACUSE POST STANDARD

Bach Cantata 51 Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen with The Skaneateles Festival, August 15, 2009

• "Bach sets the bar high for the soprano soloist in this composition and I thought Joanna Manring performed beautifully, especially on the recitative, which conveyed so aptly an attitude of prayer and humility. Her expressive vocals opened up a sense of tenderness on the aria that...reached to the farthest seats on the grounds."
  
  --Linda Loomis, The Syracuse Post-Standard
• "[Manring] displayed much control and finesse on this most demanding cantata."
  
  --James Welsch, The Syracuse Post-Standard
